The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — thou, Baalis, Gedaliah — and what happens in the verse to Ishmael, life, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 52 chapters of Jeremiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ אֵלָ֗יו הֲיָדֹ֤עַתֵּדַע֙ כִּ֞י בַּעֲלִ֣יס ׀ מֶ֣לֶךְ בְּנֵֽי־עַמּ֗וֹן שָׁלַח֙ אֶת־יִשְׁמָעֵ֣אל בֶּן־נְתַנְיָ֔ה לְהַכֹּתְךָ֖ נָ֑פֶשׁ וְלֹא־הֶאֱמִ֣ין לָהֶ֔ם גְּדַלְיָ֖הוּ בֶּן־אֲחִיקָֽם׃ [and said unto him: 'Dost thou know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take thy life?'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:JER:1007 # text = וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ אֵלָ֗יו הֲיָדֹ֤עַתֵּדַע֙ כִּ֞י בַּעֲלִ֣יס ׀ מֶ֣לֶךְ בְּנֵֽי־עַמּ֗וֹן שָׁלַח֙ אֶת־יִשְׁמָעֵ֣אל בֶּן־נְתַנְיָ֔ה לְהַכֹּתְךָ֖ נָ֑פֶשׁ וְלֹא־הֶאֱמִ֣ין לָהֶ֔ם גְּדַלְיָ֖הוּ בֶּן־אֲחִיקָֽם׃ # verse = JER.40.14 1-2 וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_40:14!1|MId=o240400140011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמְר֣וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=JER_40:14!1|MId=o240400140012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240400130012;240400130051;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵלָ֗י אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_40:14!2|MId=o240400140021|Strong=0413 4 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JER_40:14!2|MId=o240400140022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5-7 הֲיָדֹ֤עַתֵּדַע֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=at|Ref=JER_40:14!3|MId=o240400140031|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 6 יָדֹ֤עַ יָדַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 7 obl:npmod _ Gloss=all.(know)?|Ref=JER_40:14!3|MId=o240400140032|Strong=3045|Type=infinitive_absolute 7 תֵּדַע֙ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=do.you.know|Ref=JER_40:14!4|MId=o240400140041|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:240400130111;A1:240400140101;|Type=yiqtol 8 כִּ֞י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=JER_40:14!5|MId=o240400140051|Strong=3588 9 בַּעֲלִ֣יס בַּעֲלִיס PROPN _ _ 14 nsubj _ Gloss=Baalis|Ref=JER_40:14!6|MId=o240400140061|Strong=1185 10 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 9 punct _ Ref=JER_40:14!6 11 מֶ֣לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=JER_40:14!7|MId=o240400140071|Strong=4428 12 בְּנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.people|Ref=JER_40:14!8|MId=o240400140081|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 13 עַמּ֗וֹן עַמּוֹן PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ammon|Ref=JER_40:14!9|MId=o240400140091|Strong=5983 14 שָׁלַח֙ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 ccomp _ Gloss=he.has.sent|Ref=JER_40:14!10|MId=o240400140101|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:240400140061;A1:240400140121;|Type=qatal 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_40:14!11|MId=o240400140111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 16 יִשְׁמָעֵ֣אל יִשְׁמָעֵאל PROPN _ _ 14 obj _ Gloss=Ishmael|Ref=JER_40:14!12|MId=o240400140121|Strong=3458 17 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=JER_40:14!13|MId=o240400140131|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 18 נְתַנְיָ֔ה נְתַנְיָה PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Nethaniah|Ref=JER_40:14!14|MId=o240400140141|Strong=5418 19-21 לְהַכֹּתְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_40:14!15|MId=o240400140151|Strong=3807a 20 הַכֹּת נָכָה VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 14 advcl _ Gloss=strike|Ref=JER_40:14!15|MId=o240400140152|Strong=5221|Frame=AA:240400140121;A0:240400140153;|Type=infinitive_construct 21 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_40:14!15|MId=o240400140153|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 22 נָ֑פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=life|Ref=JER_40:14!16|MId=o240400140161|Strong=5315 23-24 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_40:14!17|MId=o240400140171|Strong=2050b 24 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_40:14!17|MId=o240400140172|Strong=3808|Type=negative 25 הֶאֱמִ֣ין אָמַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 conj _ Gloss=he.believed|Ref=JER_40:14!18|MId=o240400140181|Strong=0539|Frame=A0:240400140201;|Type=qatal 26-27 לָהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 ל לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=JER_40:14!19|MId=o240400140191|Strong=3807a 27 ָהֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JER_40:14!19|MId=o240400140192|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 28 גְּדַלְיָ֖הוּ גְּדַלְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 25 nsubj _ Gloss=Gedaliah|Ref=JER_40:14!20|MId=o240400140201|Strong=1436a 29 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=JER_40:14!21|MId=o240400140211|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 30 אֲחִיקָֽם אֲחִיקָם PROPN _ _ 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ahikam|Ref=JER_40:14!22|MId=o240400140221|Strong=0296|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=JER_40:14!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
